And the culprit Qi Ling is washing dishes in the backyard of the dining room at the moment, as she expected, there are more than a dozen more students today than yesterday, fortunately she has done a lot, otherwise wouldn't the students in the back of the queue not be able to eat?

"Miss Qi!" Li Erlong ran past Ali, "There is a student in the front hall, saying that he is here to find you." ”

Qi Ling put down the bowl in his hand, a little curious: "A student came to me?" Could it be Gu Jinfeng? ”

Li Erlong shook his head, "It's not Gu Gongzi, it's one I haven't seen." ”

"Okay, then I'll go out and have a look." Qi Ling brought some water to wash off the oil stains on his hands, wiped them clean, and then got up and went to the front hall, and saw a figure from a distance, standing with his head upright, still holding a folding fan in his hand, but there was a bit of a handsome boy.

But Qi Ling felt a little familiar... Is this man she has seen somewhere?

After getting closer, she suddenly remembered, isn't this the son who came out of the Chunfeng Building in the dish competition that day?

He was actually a student of Zhenyuan?

Xu Shang never had lunch in the dining room, he was picked up by the family carriage every day, and returned to the academy after lunch.

When he returned home for dinner, Steward Li came and briefly described what happened this morning, and he was very surprised to hear it: "Are you sure you heard it right?" ”

Steward Li had a bitter face, "Young Master, even if you hear something wrong, you can't hear this wrong, right?" That Qi girl is really stubborn, the little one said that the price is a bit high, can you discuss it, but she refused, saying that she would not let a penny. ”

"Oh?" Xu Shang raised his eyebrows: "That's really interesting." ”

So after returning to the academy, he came to the dining room in person, wanting to talk to this Qi girl.

"Miss Qi." Xu Shang smiled slightly, "Under Xu Shang, he is a student in the third class of Zhenyuan College. ”

Qi Ling nodded thoughtfully, "Then are you here for something?" ”

Xu Shangdao "I forgot to say that I am the young master of Chunfeng Building, and my father has something to do in recent days, so this Chunfeng Building will be temporarily handed over to me for management." ”

"Oh!" Qi Ling pretended to be abrupt, "You are the one who wants to buy my recipe?" ”

Before Xu Shang could speak, her face changed in vain, and she waved her hand and said, "I have already made it very clear, I am willing to sell, but it must be five hundred and fifty taels, and I will not sell any less." ”

Xu Shang narrowed his eyes, and his voice was much lighter, "I can naturally afford this price, but is your recipe worth the price...... Isn't Miss Qi going to prove it? ”

Qi Ling spread his hands and said indifferently, "What proof do you need?" Didn't the food tasting at the door of Chunfeng Building that day explain everything? How else do you want me to prove it? ”

"You!" As soon as he mentioned that incident, Xu Shang's face became gloomy: "You were at the scene at the time?!" ”

Qi Ling hooked the corners of his mouth, "I just passed by and took a look, your sauce duck is not the right color, and the taste must be unsatisfactory." As soon as she talked about the dish, she gushed endlessly, "And I heard that your business in Chunfeng Lou hasn't been doing well lately, right?" ”

Xu Shang hates particularly shrewd women, in his opinion, this business should be done by men, and women should be obedient to their husbands and children at home.

The remarks of the Qi girl in front of him suddenly aroused his unhappiness in the past few days.

"Whether the business of Chunfeng Building is good or not has nothing to do with you." Xu Shang snorted coldly, "I finally bid three hundred taels, do you sell this recipe or not?" ”

Qi Ling shook his head with a little regret, "Three hundred taels? Then Xu Gongzi, you can only get one chance. ”

Xu Shang was stunned, "What a chance?" ”

"That is, I only do it once, and I am allowed to have people watching from the sidelines, but it depends on their own creation if I can learn a few points, and I will teach, but not will."

Originally, Qi Ling didn't want to talk to such a cautious guy, but he thought that he had been living here all the time, and he would use money in general, right? I thought that three hundred taels could last for a while, don't be in vain!

Xu Shang pondered in his heart, with the craftsmanship of the old man for so many years, it is just a small spiced duck, and he will definitely be able to learn it after watching it once, and after thinking about it again and again, he responded in one bite, "Yes, then I don't know when Miss Qi will come to teach?" ”

"You can do it at any time, but in order to prevent you from not giving money, Xu Gongzi needs to give a deposit of fifty taels, and when I finish it, I have to settle the rest of the money in person!"

Xu Shang looked disdainful, "Regardless of it, it's just three hundred taels, and my son doesn't need to rely on it!" After speaking, he took out the money bag from the cuff and threw it to Qi Ling, "This is a deposit, and Steward Li will come to the door in person at that time." ”

Qi Ling smiled and checked the weight in his hand, it was exactly fifty taels, "Okay, then it will be troublesome for Xu Gongzi then!" ”

"Humph!" Xu Shang didn't bother to talk to her here, turned around and left.

Li Erlong had already washed the dishes neatly at this time, and looked around, but the distance was too far to hear what the two were talking about, but looking at the boy's face was very bad... Li Erlong was a little confused.

"Lalala~ I'm a little master who makes money!" After accepting the deposit, Qi Ling was extremely happy.

Li Erlong smiled and asked, "What's so happy, Miss Qi?" I saw you and that boy seem to be talking about something......"

She covered her mouth and snickered, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that his family runs a restaurant and wants to invite me to cook!" ”

"Oh! That's it! That's this son's vision! Li Erlong didn't mean to doubt it, since Qi Ling came here, he could eat different flavors of food every day, and the taste of each dish was first-class!

Qi Ling worked in Zhenyuan College for three days, and when he left, the dean's face was indescribable, and finally sighed and handed her five taels of silver, which was considered the salary of these days.

"You said the dean's expression before leaving... What does that mean exactly? Qi Lingsi figured it out.

There is a little reluctance in this entanglement, and there is a little sadness in the reluctance... She can't understand this complexity at all, hey!

Gu Jinfeng led the horse and chuckled, "I guess I can't bear the food you cook." ”

Qi Ling was a little distressed, "Even if he is reluctant, it is useless, and I don't work there for a long time, I have to cook so many people's meals every day, and my arms are sore!" I'd rather relax in Shopkeeper Duan's shop! ”

"Sore shoulders? Then I'll go back and rub it for you......" The two of you talked while walking, and when they turned in front of them, they happened to be facing a carriage escorted by seven or eight people.

All of them were very strong men, dressed in solemn black clothes, and walked in front of and on both sides of the carriage with strict faces.

Even if Qi Lingdang stopped talking, he secretly looked at the passing team, and was surprised in his heart: Could this escort be something worth a thousand gold? So many people......

But what she didn't expect was that the next moment, the curtain that was bumpy with the road was suddenly opened, revealing Gu Wei's surprised face, she waved her handkerchief and shouted, "Jinfeng!" Help me! Jinfeng!! ”

Qi Ling was stunned, what is the situation?!!

The leader of the team was a man with a long beard with an indifferent look on his face, and after hearing Gu Wei's shout, he raised his arms, and the convoy stopped.

The man glanced at the maid who was accompanying her, she hurriedly turned around and went to Gu Wei and whispered, "Miss, don't make trouble, go back with the Yan guards!" ”

"You eat something inside and out!" Gu Wei is angry when she sees her now, she never thought that the maid who had been with her for almost three years turned out to be her mother's person, no wonder she wanted to sneak out to see Gu Jinfeng at that time but was always discovered, it was this dead girl who was ventilating outside!
